Drunk on Petrology - Obsidian Stout
Obsidian is a shiny, very smooth, and (often) black igneous rock. It forms from the extremely quick cooling of lava, where no crystals have time to grow. This creates a glassy structure, where edges are able to sharpened to be sharper than a razor blade.

Drunk on Astronomy - Dubhe
The next up in our Drunk on Astronomy series is Dubhe Imperial Black IPA from right here out of the Uinta Brewery in Salt Lake City, UT.
Dubhe was a word that I saw on the package and I had to Google it to determine if it was a geological word or not and what I found I was rather surprised about. It turns out that Dubhe is the end star of the Big Dipper (as highlighted on the package).

Drunk on Seismology - Aftershock
After Shock is a product of the Jim Beam company with several varieties. The main one I am aware of (and the one pictured below) is the Hot and Cool Cinnamon version. It is a rather strong drink (80 Proof) with a strong cinnamon taste.
